Twilight's Kristen Stewart is currently in talks for a role in Focus,
reveals Variety. Ben Affleck will portray the main character of the
thriller, which was originally supposed to pit Emma Stone (The Amazing
Spider-Man) against Ryan Gosling (Drive).
Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the directing duo behind Crazy, Stupid, Love, which featured Stone and Gosling, will be behind the camera.
Focus tells the story of a veteran con artist who takes a female
apprentice under his wing, which leads to a romantic relationship.
Their trade, which requires a substantial amount of lying, causes them to part ways, and the film focuses on their attempt to reconnect later on.
